Betting Trends for vs
The Virginia Cavaliers have had a disappointing season following their National Championship, but they have a chance to break their 3-game losing streak against a struggling Georgia Tech team. The Cavaliers have been excellent on the defensive side of the court this season as they are holding their opponents to an average of 49 PPG which is the top mark in college basketball, and they should excel against a Georgia Tech team that hasn’t had much success scoring. The Cavaliers will need to find scoring themselves, but senior forward Mamadi Diakite can stretch the floor as he is averaging 13.1 PPG and 6.8 RPG, and he should be the focus for Tony Bennett. The Cavaliers showed the ability to knock down shots against a stout Florida State team, and I think they bring some confidence into this one. Final Score Prediction, Virginia Cavaliers win and cover ATS 60-54.
